| Are you doing anything weird like running ~arch nvidia-drivers with a stable kernel? |

While it may or may not be related, there's nothing weird about that. NVIDIA has official support for very old LTS branches even in latest drivers, and 5.15.x is supported. Plus 525.78.01 is a stable candidate as it's another iteration in their production/stable 525 branch and could be stabled anytime unless there's a widespread issue with it (unfortunately I don't overly consider rare hardware specific issues or else wouldn't be able to stable any drivers -- I know 525.78 been causing issues with "yet more" lenovo thinkpad and brightness for one).
If anything may have more luck using 5.15.x than 6.1.x if was using ~arch + ~arch, nvidia is not the fastest at deploying fixes for cutting edge kernels (especially for obscure runtime issues, build issues thankfully often get fixed during kernel _rc phase). |

Thanks for replying.
Both are ~arch.
I get bit all the time by out of step nvidia kernels. I'm used to that, I just thought this was funny.
The reason I checked is because a friend of mine had problem in windows with the latest nvidia driver and had to go back one.

I generally like running the latest kernel. There are many reasons not to, but I do anyway.
I'm used to nvidia drivers not working. I always just skip the current kernel until nvidia updates the blob.
Although on two of my machines, I've switched to AMDGPU because I'm passing through the nvidia to QEMU on one and got a new GPU for the other.
I'm going to stick with AMDGPU for the future as the drivers are open source and from what I can tell, pretty good.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
